Le professional

So for the first Sunday evening in aaaages I haven't been a serious funk about heading back to work tomorrow.

Not for any particular reason but it does mean that I am able to think about more important things. Like what I am going to wear.

I've mentioned before that I work in a pretty straight-laced profession. And while there are certainly a lot of people in my workplace that dress very conservatively, I tend to take a more relaxed approach.

This normally suits me just fine, right now I am in the mood to up the game a little bit. At least for a few days until it all just seems too hard and I go back to my old ways.

Because, while I know I should probably dress like this:

What I really feel like wearing is something more like this:

Starting tomorrow though I am going to at least try to look more professional. Wear a suit or two. Maybe a blouse even (although also maybe not).

These are the kinds of looks I am thinking I could handle and not feel like too much of a cookie-cutter office worker:

Usually this mood passes me by pretty quickly but I will try it for at least a week and will post my photos up here to keep me accountable.

life under the influence

Kate Lanphear - a style icon for the grown-up me: she has looks that I can emulate at work and at play

Courtney Love - showed me that you don't need to be afraid of your "roots", that slips should never be hidden and wearing tons of black eyeliner and red lipstick is not a faux pas - it is actually fabulous
